@bookstodon @bookstodon “A towel, [The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy] says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapors; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-boggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.”

Finished the next pair of socks from my monthly from https://www.ashandevedesigns.com/product-page/copy-of-build-a-beautiful-box-of-sock-club-round-2-may-jun-jul-2024 .
Very pleased with the way they turned out and now waiting (im)patiently for this month's challenge.

Got a tin of chocolates for Xmas. They were delicious. As the old tin I used for some of my knitting notions had finally died, I transferred everything into the new one.
No matter how many times my grandkiddies come, they still have to check in case miraculously the tin contains chocolate again.😅 😜

I definitely need to sort out my yarn.
I have yarn in baskets, in cupboards, and alongside my chair.
The two baskets alongside my chair are my 'working' (...er, um...lol) ones, they're holding the current WIPs that I pick up regularly.
The cupboards hold my main stash and patterns, needles, etc...
Then there are the hand-dyed yarn clubs I belong to that mean I get more each month.

Of course - collecting yarn and using yarn are two different hobbies 😂 😅 😜

At 55, human Ella Conlan thought her life was completely ordinary, maybe even a little dull, except for having RH-null blood. But she hadn't counted on being the center of a Blood War between two warring factions of vampires. Nor had she counted on being the mate of not one but two handsome vampires.

Now all those two have to do is - stop her from being killed, rescue her, convince her to donate her blood, and then finally get her to accept that she is destined to spend eternity with the two of them.

Easy?

A short insta-love novella.

Frogging (tinking) it!
Got side track when I started these socks. Made up the pattern as I went but didn't bother writing it down.
Picked it up again a few months later and a) can't remember what row I'm up to, b) what the hell I did, and c) I no longer like the design...lol.
Normally I scribble something out & leave it with the project, this time I didn't. 😜

Finished the April's square in the Makealong blanket. Colour is part of the Seascape series hand-dyed by https://fiberlily.com.au/product/make-along-club/
Made a couple from hand-dyed yarn I already had as the club is only yarn for 12 blocks but I'm making the entire 20 from the pattern - https://berroco.com/patterns/norahs-vintage-afghan

@knitting

5 x 30cm squares. Each square is different styles of intricately linked cables. Colours - various shades of dark greens and deep grey.

@KarenStrickholm @knitting
Can't take credit for most of the colours - the dyer has chosen 12 of them. I'm just going for complementary ones for the remaining 8.

@energisch_ @KarenStrickholm @knitting
They'll get a light wash when I block each one.
I've only used hand-dyes mfor the past 4 years and bever had a problem - only wash in cold water (& I often use the machine...lol).
